Lincoln Navigator (1999) [166/216] Maintenance and care

1. Drive the vehicle 30 km (20 miles) or until it reaches normal operating

temperature.

2. Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake.

3. With the parking brake engaged and your foot on the brake pedal,

start the engine and move the gearshift lever through all of the gear

ranges. Allow sufficient time for each gear to engage.

4. Latch the gearshift lever in P (Park) and leave the engine running.

5. Remove the dipstick, wiping it clean with a clean, dry lint free rag.

6. Install the dipstick making sure it is fully seated in the filler tube.

7. Remove the dipstick and inspect the fluid level. The fluid should be in

the designated areas for normal and room temperature.

Low fluid level

Do not drive the vehicle if the fluid

level is at the bottom of the dipstick

and the outside temperatures are

above 10°C (50°F).

Correct fluid level

The transmission fluid should be checked at normal operating

temperatures 66°C-77°C (150°F-170°F) on a level surface. The normal

operating temperature can be reached after approximately 30 km

(20 miles) of driving. However, you can check the fluid without driving if

the outside temperatures are above 10°C (50°F). If fluid is added at this

time, an overfill condition could result when the vehicle reaches normal

operating temperature.

The transmission fluid should be in

this range if at normal operating

temperature (66°C-77°C

[150°F-170°F]).

The transmission fluid should be in

this range if at room temperature

(10°C-35°C [50°F-95°F]).
